Description 

While you ride along unsuspectingly passing a castle you suddenly hear a cry for help and see a young lady on a tower that wants to be rescued. (As you are knight by profession you do not hesitat for long and enter the castle (such odds and ends are what you as a knight are paid for!). However, you now realite that you have to go up six floors fill of knights and archers and that each of the floors corresponds to a labyrinth that is secured by a gate. Each gate can only be opened, when all parts of it have been found. And you remember (as an older person it can happen that you forget one thing or another) that in the 6th floor resides the really horrible wizard with his black magic. But in this castle it is said that there is a weapon named "Excalibur", which is said the make the bearer invulnerable for a certain time... 

 Design 

The game is a conversion of the machine with the same name. The graphics correspond to the topic and the knight figures look similiar to the ones in dungeon games (Telengard, Dunzlin, etc.). Music and sound effects are plenty in the game. 

 Hints 

 The aim of the game is to collect all 7 parts of the gate (no matter in what order) in each of the 6 labyrinth-like levels that scroll to the left and the right, to get to the next level. 
 After the sixth level (which is guarded by the wizard) follows the end sequence and after that you start again with level 1. 
 You start with 3 lives and 2 Excalibur (Zaps). 
 Hostile knights need to be hit 1x, archers 2x. 
 Items that are no door parts get you points when they are collected. 

Controls: 
 F1   = 1 player 
 F3   = 2 player (in turns) 

in the game: 
 = the knight follows the joystick movements 
 = throw weapon in walking direction 
 F5   = release Excalibur (Zaps) (invulnerable fpr approx. 10 sec.) 

Points: 
 100 points for knights 
 100 points for archers per hit 
 800 points for part of the gate 
 ??? points for other items 
 ??? points for Excalibur (+1 Zap = 1x 10 sec invulnerable) 

 Cheats 

 When pressing the keys D F R T I K L  at the same time, the text "HI CHRIS, WHAT DO YOU WANT?" appears and you can choose the level with the keys 1-6. (not tested) 
 The version by "Hokuto Force" contains next to different cheats (unlimited lives, invulnerable, unlimited Excalibur) also the manual.
